TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to compounds and methods useful for inhibiting General amino acid Control Non-derepressible 2 kinase (“GCN2”). The invention also provides pharmaceutically acceptable compositions comprising compounds of the present invention and methods of using said compositions in the treatment of various disorders.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

GCN2 (General amino acid Control Non-derepressible 2) is a ubiquitously expressed protein kinase involved in cellular responses to amino acid deficiency across eukaryotes (Castilho et al., 2014). Cellular deficiency in one or more amino acids causes the accumulation of uncharged cognate transfer RNAs (tRNAs), which are bound directly by GCN2, leading to kinase activation and phosphorylation of eukaryotic initiation factor 2 α (eIF2α) on Serine 51 (Wek et al., 1989; Dong et al., 2000). Phosphorylation of eIF2α results in initiation of protein translation, which causes a reduction in the translation of most mRNAs leading to reduced global utilization of amino acids. Simultaneously, eIF2α phosphorylation increases the translation of a specific subset of mRNAs containing certain upstream open reading frames in their 5′ untranslated regions (5′-UTRs), such as the transcription factor ATF4 in mammals (Vattem and Wek, 2004), which promotes restoration of protein homeostasis. GCN2 is therefore a critical determinant of cell fate in response to amino acid depletion.

Induction of cellular responses to amino acid deficiency is emerging as an important mechanism for regulation of the mammalian immune system, particularly in certain disease settings including cancer and autoimmunity. Various immunosuppressive cell types implicated in the control of immune responses in these settings, including tolerogenic dendritic cells, myeloid derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), tolerogenic/M2 macrophages and cancer cells themselves, have each been reported to use the depletion of amino acids to suppress T-cell responses (Munn et al., 2004; Munn et al., 2005; Rodriguez et al., 2010; Whyte et al., 2011; Uyttenhove et al., 2003). This is achieved by the intracellular transport of amino acids coupled with the overexpression of amino acid catabolizing enzymes in these cells, such as the tryptophan catabolizing enzymes indoleamine 2,3 dioxygenase (IDO) and tryptophan 2,3 dioxygenase (TDO), and the arginine catabolizing enzymes arginase 1 and 2 (ARG1, ARG2). As a result, these cells can reduce the local extracellular concentrations of specific amino acids wherever they reside, and therefore induce GCN2 activity in nearby T-cells in an antigen-specific manner (Munn et al., 2004). In the mouse system both in vitro and in vivo, the depletion of local tryptophan or arginine concentrations, for example by IDO- or ARG1-expressing dendritic cells, has been reported to induce proliferative arrest and anergy in T-cells in a GCN2-dependent manner (Munn et al., 2005; Rodriguez et al., 2007; Fletcher et al., 2015). In addition, the induction and/or maintenance of MDSCs and immunosuppressive regulatory T-cells (T-regs) may also be dependent on GCN2 activity under amino acid depleted conditions (Fletcher et al., 2015; Fallarino et al., 2006). Finally, other work implicates the activation of GCN2 by IDO within tolerogenic macrophages as a key mechanism for suppressing systemic autoimmune responses to apoptotic cells (Ravishankar et al., 2015). These findings identify GCN2 as a potentially key effector of the immunosuppressive effects of amino acid depletion associated with various disease states.

Incipient cancers need to evade host anti-cancer immunity in order to thrive (Corthay, 2014). This can be achieved by modulating tumor antigen presentation and/or by using tumor immune evasion mechanisms to actively suppress immune attack. High expression of amino acid catabolising enzymes such as IDO and ARG1 has been observed across a large proportion of cancer patients with various tumor types, both in the cancer cells themselves and in immunosuppressive host cell types that accumulate in tumors, tumor-draining lymph nodes and/or the peripheral circulation (Uyttenhove et al., 2003; Pilotte et al., 2012; Zea et al., 2005). Amino acid depletion may therefore be a powerful and widespread immune evasion mechanism whereby anti-cancer immunity is restrained. Consistently, amino acid depletion in both tumors and tumor-draining lymph nodes has been established as a resistance mechanism to existing immuno-oncology agents, including checkpoint receptor blocking antibodies, in several syngeneic mouse tumor models (Holmgaard et al., 2013; Spranger et al., 2014). On this basis, inhibitors of IDO and TDO are now being progressed in clinical trials for cancer and inhibitors of additional amino acid catabolases are in preclinical development. Accordingly, inhibitors of GCN2 may also be useful for cancer treatment by disrupting the nodal effector signal of amino acid depletion in the immune system and enabling an anti-cancer immune response. Genetic ablation of GCN2 is well tolerated in mice under standard growth conditions (Zhang et al., 2002), and inhibitors of GCN2 may have broader utility than inhibitors of individual amino acid catabolases because GCN2 responds to depletion of several different amino acids.

In addition, GCN2 activation and overexpression has been observed in various human tumors compared with normal tissues (Ye et al., 2010; Wang et al., 2013). Depletion of GCN2 reduced the growth of mouse embryonic fibroblasts and human cancer cells in vitro under severe amino acid or glucose depleted conditions, and blocked the growth of human tumor xenografts in mice (Ye et al., 2010). GCN2 inhibitors may therefore have direct anti-cancer effects due to the frequent disruption of nutrient supply in the tumor microenvironment.

For these reasons, there is a need for the development of potent and selective inhibitors of GCN2 for the treatment of cancer, either as single agents or in combination, for example with anti-CTLA4 and anti-PD1/PD-L1 checkpoint blocking antibodies.

As used herein, the term “pharmaceutically acceptable salt” refers to those salts which are, within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with the tissues of humans and lower animals without undue toxicity, irritation, allergic response and the like, and are commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts are well known in the art. For example, S. M. Berge et al., describe pharmaceutically acceptable salts in detail in J. Pharmaceutical Sciences, 1977, 66, 1-19, incorporated herein by reference. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds of this invention include those derived from suitable inorganic and organic acids and bases. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable, nontoxic acid addition salts are salts of an amino group formed with inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid and perchloric acid or with organic acids such as acetic acid, oxalic acid, maleic acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, succinic acid or malonic acid or by using other methods used in the art such as ion exchange. Other pharmaceutically acceptable salts include adipate, alginate, ascorbate, aspartate, benzenesulfonate, benzoate, bisulfate, borate, butyrate, camphorate, camphorsulfonate, citrate, cyclopentanepropionate, digluconate, dodecylsulfate, ethanesulfonate, formate, fumarate, glucoheptonate, glycerophosphate, gluconate, hemisulfate, heptanoate, hexanoate, hydroiodide, 2-hydroxy-ethanesulfonate, lactobionate, lactate, laurate, lauryl sulfate, malate, maleate, malonate, methanesulfonate, 2-naphthalenesulfonate, nicotinate, nitrate, oleate, oxalate, palmitate, pamoate, pectinate, persulfate, 3-phenylpropionate, phosphate, pivalate, propionate, stearate, succinate, sulfate, tartrate, thiocyanate, p-toluenesulfonate, undecanoate, valerate salts, and the like.

Salts derived from appropriate bases include alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, ammonium and N⁺ (C₁₋₄alkyl)₄ salts. Representative alkali or alkaline earth metal salts include sodium, lithium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and the like. Further pharmaceutically acceptable salts include, when appropriate, nontoxic ammonium, quaternary ammonium, and amine cations formed using counterions such as halide, hydroxide, carboxylate, sulfate, phosphate, nitrate, loweralkyl sulfonate and aryl sulfonate.

Unless otherwise stated, structures depicted herein are also meant to include all isomeric (e.g., enantiomeric, diastereomeric, and geometric (or conformational)) forms of the structure; for example, the R and S configurations for each asymmetric center, Z and E double bond isomers, and Z and E conformational isomers. Therefore, single stereochemical isomers as well as enantiomeric, diastereomeric, and geometric (or conformational) mixtures of the present compounds are within the scope of the invention. Unless otherwise stated, all tautomeric forms of the compounds of the invention are within the scope of the invention. Additionally, unless otherwise stated, structures depicted herein are also meant to include compounds that differ only in the presence of one or more isotopically enriched atoms. For example, compounds having the present structures including the replacement of hydrogen by deuterium or tritium, or the replacement of a carbon by a ¹³C- or ¹⁴C-enriched carbon are within the scope of this invention. Such compounds are useful, for example, as analytical tools, as probes in biological assays, or as therapeutic agents in accordance with the present invention. In certain embodiments, R^(x), of a provided compound comprises one or more deuterium atoms.

As used herein, the term “inhibitor” is defined as a compound that binds to and/or inhibits GCN2 with measurable affinity. In certain embodiments, an inhibitor has an IC₅₀ and/or binding constant of less than about 50 μM, less than about 1 μM, less than about 500 nM, less than about 100 nM, less than about 10 nM, or less than about 1 nM.

A compound of the present invention may be tethered to a detectable moiety. It will be appreciated that such compounds are useful as imaging agents. One of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that a detectable moiety may be attached to a provided compound via a suitable substituent. As used herein, the term “suitable substituent” refers to a moiety that is capable of covalent attachment to a detectable moiety. Such moieties are well known to one of ordinary skill in the art and include groups containing, e.g., a carboxylate moiety, an amino moiety, a thiol moiety, or a hydroxyl moiety, to name but a few. It will be appreciated that such moieties may be directly attached to a provided compound or via a tethering group, such as a bivalent saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon chain. In some embodiments, such moieties may be attached via click chemistry. In some embodiments, such moieties may be attached via a 1,3-cycloaddition of an azide with an alkyne, optionally in the presence of a copper catalyst. Methods of using click chemistry are known in the art and include those described by Rostovtsev et al., Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2002, 41, 2596-99 and Sun et al., Bioconjugate Chem., 2006, 17, 52-57.

As used herein, the term “detectable moiety” is used interchangeably with the term “label” and relates to any moiety capable of being detected, e.g., primary labels and secondary labels. Primary labels, such as radioisotopes (e.g., tritium, ³²P, ³³P, ³⁵S, or ¹⁴C), mass-tags, and fluorescent labels are signal generating reporter groups which can be detected without further modifications. Detectable moieties also include luminescent and phosphorescent groups.

The term “secondary label” as used herein refers to moieties such as biotin and various protein antigens that require the presence of a second intermediate for production of a detectable signal. For biotin, the secondary intermediate may include streptavidin-enzyme conjugates. For antigen labels, secondary intermediates may include antibody-enzyme conjugates. Some fluorescent groups act as secondary labels because they transfer energy to another group in the process of nonradiative fluorescent resonance energy transfer (FRET), and the second group produces the detected signal.

The terms “fluorescent label”, “fluorescent dye”, and “fluorophore” as used herein refer to moieties that absorb light energy at a defined excitation wavelength and emit light energy at a different wavelength. Examples of fluorescent labels include, but are not limited to: Alexa Fluor dyes (Alexa Fluor 350, Alexa Fluor 488, Alexa Fluor 532, Alexa Fluor 546, Alexa Fluor 568, Alexa Fluor 594, Alexa Fluor 633, Alexa Fluor 660 and Alexa Fluor 680), AMCA, AMCA-S, BODIPY dyes (BODIPY FL, BODIPY R6G, BODIPY TMR, BODIPY TR, BODIPY 530/550, BODIPY 558/568, BODIPY 564/570, BODIPY 576/589, BODIPY 581/591, BODIPY 630/650, BODIPY 650/665), Carboxyrhodamine 6G, carboxy-X-rhodamine (ROX), Cascade Blue, Cascade Yellow, Coumarin 343, Cyanine dyes (Cy3, Cy5, Cy3.5, Cy5.5), Dansyl, Dapoxyl, Dialkylaminocoumarin, 4′,5′-Dichloro-2′,7′-dimethoxy-fluorescein, DM-NERF, Eosin, Erythrosin, Fluorescein, FAM, Hydroxycoumarin, IRDyes (IRD40, IRD 700, IRD 800), JOE, Lissamine rhodamine B, Marina Blue, Methoxycoumarin, Naphthofluorescein, Oregon Green 488, Oregon Green 500, Oregon Green 514, Pacific Blue, PyMPO, Pyrene, Rhodamine B, Rhodamine 6G, Rhodamine Green, Rhodamine Red, Rhodol Green, 2′,4′,5′,7′-Tetra-bromosulfone-fluorescein, Tetramethyl-rhodamine (TMR), Carboxytetramethylrhodamine (TAMRA), Texas Red, Texas Red-X.

The term “mass-tag” as used herein refers to any moiety that is capable of being uniquely detected by virtue of its mass using mass spectrometry (MS) detection techniques. Examples of mass-tags include electrophore release tags such as N-[3-[4′-[(p-Methoxytetrafluorobenzyl)oxy]phenyl]-3-methylglyceronyl]isonipecotic Acid, 4′-[2,3,5,6-Tetrafluoro-4-(pentafluorophenoxyl)]methyl acetophenone, and their derivatives. The synthesis and utility of these mass-tags is described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,650,750, 4,709,016, 5,360,8191, 5,516,931, 5,602,273, 5,604,104, 5,610,020, and 5,650,270. Other examples of mass-tags include, but are not limited to, nucleotides, dideoxynucleotides, oligonucleotides of varying length and base composition, oligopeptides, oligosaccharides, and other synthetic polymers of varying length and monomer composition. A large variety of organic molecules, both neutral and charged (biomolecules or synthetic compounds) of an appropriate mass range (100-2000 Daltons) may also be used as mass-tags.

The terms “measurable affinity” and “measurably inhibit,” as used herein, means a measurable change in a GCN2 protein kinase activity between a sample comprising a compound of the present invention, or composition thereof, and a GCN2 protein kinase, and an equivalent sample comprising a GCN2 protein kinase, in the absence of said compound, or composition thereof.

Alternate in vitro assays quantitate the ability of the inhibitor to bind to GCN2. Inhibitor binding may be measured by radiolabeling the inhibitor prior to binding, isolating the inhibitor/GCN2 complex and determining the amount of radiolabel bound. Alternatively, inhibitor binding may be determined by running a competition experiment where new inhibitors are incubated with GCN2 bound to known radioligands. Detailed conditions for assaying a compound utilized in this invention as an inhibitor of GCN2, or a mutant thereof, are set forth in the Examples below.

As used herein, the terms “treatment,” “treat,” and “treating” refer to reversing, alleviating, delaying the onset of, or inhibiting the progress of a disease or disorder, or one or more symptoms thereof, as described herein. In some embodiments, treatment may be administered after one or more symptoms have developed. In other embodiments, treatment may be administered in the absence of symptoms. For example, treatment may be administered to a susceptible individual prior to the onset of symptoms (e.g., in light of a history of symptoms and/or in light of genetic or other susceptibility factors). Treatment may also be continued after symptoms have resolved, for example to prevent or delay their recurrence.

Provided compounds are inhibitors of one of more of GCN2 and are therefore useful for treating one or more disorders associated with activity of GCN2.

The exact amount required will vary from subject to subject, depending on the species, age, and general condition of the subject, the severity of the infection, the particular agent, its mode of administration, and the like. Compounds of the invention are preferably formulated in dosage unit form for ease of administration and uniformity of dosage. The expression “dosage unit form” as used herein refers to a physically discrete unit of agent appropriate for the patient to be treated. It will be understood, however, that the total daily usage of the compounds and compositions of the present invention will be decided by the attending physician within the scope of sound medical judgment. The specific effective dose level for any particular patient or organism will depend upon a variety of factors including the disorder being treated and the severity of the disorder; the activity of the specific compound employed; the specific composition employed; the age, body weight, general health, sex and diet of the patient; the time of administration, route of administration, and rate of excretion of the specific compound employed; the duration of the treatment; drugs used in combination or coincidental with the specific compound employed, and like factors well known in the medical arts. The term “patient”, as used herein, means an animal, preferably a mammal, and most preferably a human.

Pharmaceutically acceptable compositions of this invention can be administered to humans and other animals orally, rectally, parenterally, intracisternally, intravaginally, intraperitoneally, topically (as by powders, ointments, or drops), bucally, as an oral or nasal spray, or the like, depending on the severity of the infection being treated. In certain embodiments, the compounds of the invention may be administered orally or parenterally at dosage levels of about 0.01 mg/kg to about 50 mg/kg and preferably from about 1 mg/kg to about 25 mg/kg, of subject body weight per day, one or more times a day, to obtain the desired therapeutic effect.

Liquid dosage forms for oral administration include, but are not limited to, pharmaceutically acceptable emulsions, microemulsions, solutions, suspensions, syrups and elixirs. In addition to the active compounds, the liquid dosage forms may contain inert diluents commonly used in the art such as, for example, water or other solvents, solubilizing agents and emulsifiers such as ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, ethyl carbonate, ethyl acetate, benzyl alcohol, benzyl benzoate, propylene glycol, 1,3-butylene glycol, dimethylformamide, oils (in particular, cottonseed, groundnut, corn, germ, olive, castor, and sesame oils), glycerol, tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol, polyethylene glycols and fatty acid esters of sorbitan, and mixtures thereof. Besides inert diluents, the oral compositions can also include adjuvants such as wetting agents, emulsifying and suspending agents, sweetening, flavoring, and perfuming agents.

Injectable preparations, for example, sterile injectable aqueous or oleaginous suspensions may be formulated according to the known art using suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents. The sterile injectable preparation may also be a sterile injectable solution, suspension or emulsion in a nontoxic parenterally acceptable diluent or solvent, for example, as a solution in 1,3-butanediol. Among the acceptable vehicles and solvents that may be employed are water, Ringer's solution, U.S.P. and isotonic sodium chloride solution. In addition, sterile, fixed oils are conventionally employed as a solvent or suspending medium. For this purpose any bland fixed oil can be employed including synthetic mono- or diglycerides. In addition, fatty acids such as oleic acid are used in the preparation of injectables.

Injectable formulations can be sterilized, for example, by filtration through a bacterial-retaining filter, or by incorporating sterilizing agents in the form of sterile solid compositions which can be dissolved or dispersed in sterile water or other sterile injectable medium prior to use.

In order to prolong the effect of a compound of the present invention, it is often desirable to slow the absorption of the compound from subcutaneous or intramuscular injection. This may be accomplished by the use of a liquid suspension of crystalline or amorphous material with poor water solubility. The rate of absorption of the compound then depends upon its rate of dissolution that, in turn, may depend upon crystal size and crystalline form. Alternatively, delayed absorption of a parenterally administered compound form is accomplished by dissolving or suspending the compound in an oil vehicle. Injectable depot forms are made by forming microencapsule matrices of the compound in biodegradable polymers such as polylactide-polyglycolide. Depending upon the ratio of compound to polymer and the nature of the particular polymer employed, the rate of compound release can be controlled. Examples of other biodegradable polymers include poly(orthoesters) and poly(anhydrides). Depot injectable formulations are also prepared by entrapping the compound in liposomes or microemulsions that are compatible with body tissues.

Compositions for rectal or vaginal administration are preferably suppositories which can be prepared by mixing the compounds of this invention with suitable non-irritating excipients or carriers such as cocoa butter, polyethylene glycol or a suppository wax which are solid at ambient temperature but liquid at body temperature and therefore melt in the rectum or vaginal cavity and release the active compound.

Solid dosage forms for oral administration include capsules, tablets, pills, powders, and granules. In such solid dosage forms, the active compound is mixed with at least one inert, pharmaceutically acceptable excipient or carrier such as sodium citrate or dicalcium phosphate and/or a) fillers or extenders such as starches, lactose, sucrose, glucose, mannitol, and silicic acid, b) binders such as, for example, carboxymethylcellulose, alginates, gelatin, polyvinylpyrrolidinone, sucrose, and acacia, c) humectants such as glycerol, d) disintegrating agents such as agar-agar, calcium carbonate, potato or tapioca starch, alginic acid, certain silicates, and sodium carbonate, e) solution retarding agents such as paraffin, f) absorption accelerators such as quaternary ammonium compounds, g) wetting agents such as, for example, cetyl alcohol and glycerol monostearate, h) absorbents such as kaolin and bentonite clay, and i) lubricants such as talc, calcium stearate, magnesium stearate, solid polyethylene glycols, sodium lauryl sulfate, and mixtures thereof. In the case of capsules, tablets and pills, the dosage form may also comprise buffering agents.

The structure of the active compounds identified by code numbers, generic or trade names may be taken from the actual edition of the standard compendium “The Merck Index” or from databases, e.g. Patents International (e.g. IMS World Publications).

A compound of the current invention may also be used in combination with known therapeutic processes, for example, the administration of hormones or radiation. In certain embodiments, a provided compound is used as a radiosensitizer, especially for the treatment of tumors which exhibit poor sensitivity to radiotherapy.

A compound of the current invention can be administered alone or in combination with one or more other therapeutic compounds, possible combination therapy taking the form of fixed combinations or the administration of a compound of the invention and one or more other therapeutic compounds being staggered or given independently of one another, or the combined administration of fixed combinations and one or more other therapeutic compounds. A compound of the current invention can besides or in addition be administered especially for tumor therapy in combination with chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy, phototherapy, surgical intervention, or a combination of these. Long-term therapy is equally possible as is adjuvant therapy in the context of other treatment strategies, as described above. Other possible treatments are therapy to maintain the patient's status after tumor regression, or even chemopreventive therapy, for example in patients at risk.

Those additional agents may be administered separately from an inventive compound-containing composition, as part of a multiple dosage regimen. Alternatively, those agents may be part of a single dosage form, mixed together with a compound of this invention in a single composition. If administered as part of a multiple dosage regime, the two active agents may be submitted simultaneously, sequentially or within a period of time from one another normally within five hours from one another.

As used herein, the term “combination,” “combined,” and related terms refers to the simultaneous or sequential administration of therapeutic agents in accordance with this invention. For example, a compound of the present invention may be administered with another therapeutic agent simultaneously or sequentially in separate unit dosage forms or together in a single unit dosage form. Accordingly, the present invention provides a single unit dosage form comprising a compound of the current invention, an additional therapeutic agent, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, adjuvant, or vehicle.

The amount of both an inventive compound and additional therapeutic agent (in those compositions which comprise an additional therapeutic agent as described above) that may be combined with the carrier materials to produce a single dosage form will vary depending upon the host treated and the particular mode of administration. Preferably, compositions of this invention should be formulated so that a dosage of between 0.01-100 mg/kg body weight/day of an inventive compound can be administered.

In those compositions which comprise an additional therapeutic agent, that additional therapeutic agent and the compound of this invention may act synergistically. Therefore, the amount of additional therapeutic agent in such compositions will be less than that required in a monotherapy utilizing only that therapeutic agent. In such compositions a dosage of between 0.01-1,000 μg/kg body weight/day of the additional therapeutic agent can be administered.

The amount of additional therapeutic agent present in the compositions of this invention will be no more than the amount that would normally be administered in a composition comprising that therapeutic agent as the only active agent. Preferably the amount of additional therapeutic agent in the presently disclosed compositions will range from about 50% to 100% of the amount normally present in a composition comprising that agent as the only therapeutically active agent.

The compounds of this invention, or pharmaceutical compositions thereof, may also be incorporated into compositions for coating an implantable medical device, such as prostheses, artificial valves, vascular grafts, stents and catheters. Vascular stents, for example, have been used to overcome restenosis (re-narrowing of the vessel wall after injury). However, patients using stents or other implantable devices risk clot formation or platelet activation. These unwanted effects may be prevented or mitigated by pre-coating the device with a pharmaceutically acceptable composition comprising a kinase inhibitor. Implantable devices coated with a compound of this invention are another embodiment of the present invention.

In some embodiments, an immuno-oncology agent is a T-cell engineered to express a chimeric antigen receptor, or CAR. The T-cells engineered to express such chimeric antigen receptor are referred to as a CAR-T cells.

CARs have been constructed that consist of binding domains, which may be derived from natural ligands, single chain variable fragments (scFv) derived from monoclonal antibodies specific for cell-surface antigens, fused to endodomains that are the functional end of the T-cell receptor (TCR), such as the CD3-zeta signaling domain from TCRs, which is capable of generating an activation signal in T lymphocytes. Upon antigen binding, such CARs link to endogenous signaling pathways in the effector cell and generate activating signals similar to those initiated by the TCR complex.

For example, in some embodiments the CAR-T cell is one of those described in U.S. Pat. No. 8,906,682 (June; hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety), which discloses CAR-T cells engineered to comprise an extracellular domain having an antigen binding domain (such as a domain that binds to CD19), fused to an intracellular signaling domain of the T cell antigen receptor complex zeta chain (such as CD3 zeta). When expressed in the T cell, the CAR is able to redirect antigen recognition based on the antigen binding specificity. In the case of CD19, the antigen is expressed on malignant B cells. Over 200 clinical trials are currently in progress employing CAR-T in a wide range of indications. [https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/results?term=chimeric+antigen+receptors&pg=1].

The term “checkpoint inhibitor” as used herein relates to agents useful in preventing cancer cells from avoiding the immune system of the patient. One of the major mechanisms of anti-tumor immunity subversion is known as “T-cell exhaustion,” which results from chronic exposure to antigens that has led to up-regulation of inhibitory receptors. These inhibitory receptors serve as immune checkpoints in order to prevent uncontrolled immune reactions.

PD-1 and co-inhibitory receptors such as cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4, B and T Lymphocyte Attenuator (BTLA; CD272), T cell Immunoglobulin and Mucin domain-3 (Tim-3), Lymphocyte Activation Gene-3 (Lag-3; CD223), and others are often referred to as a checkpoint regulators. They act as molecular “gatekeepers” that allow extracellular information to dictate whether cell cycle progression and other intracellular signaling processes should proceed.

In some embodiments, an immune checkpoint inhibitor is an antibody to PD-1. PD-1 binds to the programmed cell death 1 receptor (PD-1) to prevent the receptor from binding to the inhibitory ligand PDL-1, thus overriding the ability of tumors to suppress the host anti-tumor immune response.

In one aspect, the checkpoint inhibitor is a biologic therapeutic or a small molecule. In another aspect, the checkpoint inhibitor is a monoclonal antibody, a humanized antibody, a fully human antibody, a fusion protein or a combination thereof. In a further aspect, the checkpoint inhibitor inhibits a checkpoint protein selected from CTLA-4, PDL1, PDL2, PD1, B7-H3, B7-H4, BTLA, HVEM, TIM3, GAL9, LAG3, VISTA, KIR, 2B4, CD160, CGEN-15049, CHK 1, CHK2, A2aR, B-7 family ligands or a combination thereof. In an additional aspect, the checkpoint inhibitor interacts with a ligand of a checkpoint protein selected from CTLA-4, PDL1, PDL2, PD1, B7-H3, B7-H4, BTLA, HVEM, TIM3, GAL9, LAG3, VISTA, KIR, 2B4, CD160, CGEN-15049, CHK 1, CHK2, A2aR, B-7 family ligands or a combination thereof. In an aspect, the checkpoint inhibitor is an immunostimulatory agent, a T cell growth factor, an interleukin, an antibody, a vaccine or a combination thereof. In a further aspect, the interleukin is IL-7 or IL-15. In a specific aspect, the interleukin is glycosylated IL-7. In an additional aspect, the vaccine is a dendritic cell (DC) vaccine.

Checkpoint inhibitors include any agent that blocks or inhibits in a statistically significant manner, the inhibitory pathways of the immune system. Such inhibitors may include small molecule inhibitors or may include antibodies, or antigen binding fragments thereof, that bind to and block or inhibit immune checkpoint receptors or antibodies that bind to and block or inhibit immune checkpoint receptor ligands.

Purity and retention time of the compounds from this invention were measured by HPLC.

HPLC method: analytical reverse phase UPLC-MS was carried out on a waters Acquity UPLC-MS system equipped with a waters BEH 1.7 mm C-18 reverse phase column (2.1 mm×50 mm, 1.7 μm). The mobile phases were acetonitrile and water/acetonitrile (95:5 with 10 mM ammonium formate, pH 9). Run time 5 min

Example 17: GCN2 Enzyme Inhibition Assay

Compounds were screened for their ability to inhibit GCN2 kinase activity using a Transcreener® ADP² fluorescence polarization assay that detects ADP levels (BellBrook Labs, WI). Assays were carried out in a buffer consisting of 25 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5), 50 mM NaCl, 10 mM MgCl₂ and 1 mM DTT. Final substrate concentrations were 280 μM ATP and 200 μM peptidic substrate (H-Gly-Arg-Ser-Arg-Ser-Arg-Ser-Arg-Ser-Arg-Ser-Arg-Ser-Arg-Ser-Arg-OH [(RS)₇], Bachem, Switzerland). Assays were carried out at 25° C. in the presence of a (typical) final concentration of 4 nM GCN2 kinase.

An assay buffer containing GCN2 kinase and (RS)₇ was prepared. 4.7 μL of this stock solution was placed per well of a black, low volume, 384-well microtitre plate (e.g. catalogue number 3676, Corning Inc., NY). To this was added 0.65 μM of DMSO containing serial dilutions of the test compound (typical final concentrations of test compound were 0 to 8 μM). The plate was incubated for 10 minutes at 25° C. prior to the addition of 4.7 μL of ATP stock buffer to initiate the enzyme reaction. The reaction was allowed to proceed for 1 hour at 25° C., prior to the addition of 10 μL detection buffer (consisting of appropriate concentrations of ADP² antibody and ADP Alexa633 tracer in 1× stop and detect buffer as supplied by BellBrook Labs). The reaction was left to incubate for 1 hour at 25° C., prior to measuring the fluorescence polarisation signal (mP) in each well using a PHERAstar FS reader (BMG Labtech, Germany).

Fluorescence polarization values were normalized to an in plate standard curve consisting of various ratios of ATP to ADP in assay buffer to a final total concentration of 280 μM. 9.4 μL of each ATP:ADP ratio buffer was added to the plate along with 0.65 μL DMSO, prior to addition of detection buffer, to mimic assay volumes and conditions. The standard curve was used to convert mP values obtained from test wells into percentage ATP converted to ADP. Percentage inhibition of enzyme activity was then calculated at each compound dose. IC₅₀ and Ki_((app)) (using known assay and kinetic parameters) values were calculated from percentage inhibition data using a non-linear, tight-binding algorithm. All data analysis was undertaken using the Screener® software package (Genedata, Switzerland).

Example 18: GCN2 Cellular Inhibition Assay

Compounds can be screened for their ability to inhibit intracellular GCN2 using an AlphaScreen assay (Perkin Elmer) to detect phosphorylation of the GCN2 substrate eIF2α in borrelidin-treated cells. U2OS cells are plated at 5,000 cells per well in 384-well white polystyrene plates (Corning 3570) in McCoy's 5A media (GIBCO 26600-023) supplemented with 10% foetal bovine serum (SAFC 12103C), Penicillin/Streptomycin solution diluted 1:100 (Sigma P0781), and 2 mM L-glutamine (Sigma G7513), and allowed to adhere overnight at 37° C. in 5% CO₂. Compounds are then added to the cell media from a final concentration of 40 μM in 4-fold serial dilutions. Borrelidin (FluoroChem M01440) is immediately added to the wells to a final concentration of 10 μM and the cells are incubated for 1 h at 37° C. in 5% CO₂. After 1 h of treatment with borrelidin, the media is removed, and the cells are lysed with lysis buffer (TGR BioSceinces TGRLB) at ambient temperature.

An AlphaScreen SureFire P-eIF2α (Ser51) assay kit (Perkin Elmer TGREIF2S) was used to measure levels of eIF2α phosphorylated on Serine 51. Anti-phosphorylated eIF2α Ser51 antibody-linked acceptor beads (TGR BioScience 6760617) are added to the cell homogenate (diluted 1:250 into a mixture of activation (TGR BioScience TGRAB) and reaction buffer (TGR BioScience TGREIF2S) prepared immediately before use). The plate is then incubated for 2 h at ambient temperature in the dark. Anti-eIF2α antibody-linked donor beads (TGR BioScience 6760617) were then added (diluted 1:100 in dilution buffer (TGR BioScience TGRDB) prepared immediately before use). The plate is then incubated overnight at ambient temperature in the dark.

Plates are analyzed on an Alpha Technology-compatible PHERAstar FS plate reader (BMG Labtech Version 1.14) to quantify phosphorylated eIF2α Ser51 levels. The percentage inhibition of phosphorylated eIF2α is calculated by comparison to control wells stimulated with borrelidin alone. These data are plotted against concentration of compound and IC₅₀ are determined using Genedata Analyzer (Genedata AG Version 12.0.3).

Example 26: Human IL-2 Assay for GCN2 Inhibition

Tumor microenvironment is profoundly immuno-suppressive. This may be attributed to the depletion of amino acids (like arginine and tryptophan) which triggers the activation of GCN2 in immune cells, including T cell and myeloid cells. In T cells, activation of GCN2 leads to reduce effector functions of CD8 T cells and induction and/or maintenance of immuno-suppressive T-regs. Inhibition of that immuno-suppressive response by GCN2 inhibitors enables an anti-cancer immune response by activating effector T-cells. Herein we describe an in-vitro system we established using human T-cells stimulated in low amino acid condition in order to engage the GCN2 biology. The method described involves the modulation of IL-2 levels secreted by human T cells in responses to the GCN2 inhibitors disclosed herein.

Amino acid-free RPMI was reconstituted with all but one of the amino acids found in standard RMPI (e.g. Arginine, Tryptophan), 10% charcoal-stripped fetal bovine serum, 100 Units/mL penicillin and 0.1 mg/mL streptomycin. Primary human pan T-cells were isolated using Pan T Cell Isolation Kit, human (MACS Miltenyi biotech Cat# Order no. 130-096-535) from apheresis cones and 5×104 pan T-cells per well. The purified T cells are seeded in Nunc™ 96-Well Polystyrene Round Bottom Microwell Plates (the cells are rested in No TRP media in a 15 ml falcon tube in the incubator for 30-45 minutes while titrations for tryptophan and the GCN2 inhibitor compound are made) A plate matrix was developed to titrate both a GCN2 inhibitor and the amino acid of interest ranging from “No Amino Acid” condition, up to the concentration found in the regular RPMI media (20 μM for TRP and 950 μM for Arginine). The cells were incubated for 30 min at 37° C. with the GCN2 inhibitor and then stimulated with 5×104 anti-CD3/CD28 Dynabeads® per well. After 96 hours of incubation the IL-2 level in the supernatant were measured using ELISA (R&D systems Cat# DY202 (Human IL-2 DuoSet ELISA). Data were plotted in GraphPad Prism software and EC₅₀ is calculated.
